Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer for most people, and Aldi has you covered if you’re planning a cookout and need patriotic supplies. And while it’s an important time to remember service members we’ve lost, we’re guessing that many would approve of honoring them in the most American way possible: with a grill full of hot dogs and a cooler full of drinks.
These red, white, and blue summer barbecue supplies just hit shelves at Aldi on May 6, so don’t wait long to grab what you need.
Citronella Tin Candle
Keep the mosquitoes away from your parties all summer with a citronella candle. These come in a wide tin with a fun popsicle design or plain galvanized metal look.
Indoor/Outdoor Tablecloth
There are a number of tablecloths available in four different patterns, including blue gingham, red cherries, and this blue-and-white stars number. They come in three different sizes and shapes.
Fast Food Basket with Paper Liners
We’re big fans of these hot dog stand-style serving baskets. Use the paper liners — 20 are included — and there’s practically no clean up.
Flip-Top Cooler
If you’re heading to someone else’s Memorial Day cookout, this cooler is the perfect way to bring a few beverages and some snacks for sharing.
Crofton Burger Press
You can make quick work of forming lots of burger patties with this little gadget. Plus, they’ll all be uniform so they’ll cook at the same rate; no overcooked beef.
